You da man! Thanks for the info, glad to know the scoop. I see many trailers around here for sale like the one you posted. If I get one, I will probably weld some steel supports where the wheels stay. I like the steel mesh, not much to clean and easy on the wind and weight and catch parts that fall off the car . I have 2 – 12 foot flatbeds, single…[Read more]

 Paul,  It started right when they said it would here yesterday too. We got about 8 inches , sure was pretty falling. I’ve been looking at MGs on the computer so I don’t have to walk to the garage to see one.It sure does make it feel like Christmas!! Car shows in warm weather, sound like a good way to spend the Sat. before Christmas.

I was thinking something like this with a fashioned cover
and it could easily help haul the tractor, lawn mower and sno blower for other work. light weight too.

The car not me
I drove mine on a landscape single to see how it would work, drop door ramp never shuttered I am thinking dualie Just not sure it its enclosed. Now I do relize there are cleaning concerns with open trailers but they make covers. I’ve even given thought to fashioning one
 

Car show? Lucky guys.The first flakes of what is predicted to be a foot (or more!) of snow started falling about an hour ago. Right on schedule. Yes. Snow is a four letter word.

Richard,
I was thinking the car is in the 12 foot range, so a 14 footer should work. I haven’t found one that short that is a ‘car hauler’. The car is so light that perhaps a cargo trailer would work with a stiffer ramp. Originally I was looking at a flat bed, but then the enclosed trailers popped into my head and then I saw it as a portable…[Read more]

Snow? What is that snow? It was a true joy to see Mel and his bride, and of course, Mel forgot to mention that I have a shop with all the tools and he does not. Not until he gets here full time anyway. In the mean time, the car show beckons today, and dinner afterward I am sure. Greg

I’ld do the trailer thing, going thru same thought process as you all post, I’m wondering why so big, I looked at some dualies that were 14 to 16 feet. I’m looking at pulling behind a chevy 1500 or a 35ft cruise master the car is 12.5 and mine weighs in at 1360lbs. I was even looking at an open trailer and procuring a top for it the trailer only…[Read more]

Scott,
Would you believe I had looked at a similar thing to do with a cargo truck, like one of the longer FedEx city trucks. Then I figured the neighbors would freak out having that in the driveway. The trailer could tuck away behind the garage. I live in a designated historic district, and they are so picky about everything from house color to…[Read more]

James;
I will throw in my 2 cents.How about a School bus.You can set up the inside just like an RV,and drive the TD right in the back.I have seen a few on craigslist(WI) for under $3000 and already fixed up inside.I would think an enclosed trailer is going to cost about the same.The down side is 10-12 mpg with a bus,but however you are going to…[Read more]

Dan,
The Jeep has about a 4-6″ lift. The tires rub when I turn they are so large. The kid I bought it from really tricked it out with the safari racks and brush guards. It looks great, but you have to climb to get inside. The Jeep is not a good tow vehicle at all. I used to have a collection of Scouts. I know what you mean about rust. That thing…[Read more]

That was a fun read. Thanks for the effort.

Bill, What color is it and how much is it? Thanks

   WOW that was great       Dan R

           James   duel axle with electric brakes . I have never liked surge brakes but I know a lot people that do . TWO are better than one that goes for axles to .I don’t know if would tow any trailer with the suspension that you must have on the trucks 31.5 tires ?? how much frame lift ??the towing vehicle should setup for towing it is diffe…[Read more]

Ahh, I think I understand. Apparently these things were not all assembled according to spec. And spec was not always consistent. There will be away to make it right, though. The more experienced boys will very likely chime in with useful info.

Thanks for the input, I guess my main concern is the firewall were the pedals would go. The Fiberfab does not show a firewall in this area.If a Daytona owner is on the forum, could you give me some input.Thanks for the help,Buddy

Ditto that. Since you’ve got it all apart anyway, now’s the time to make it your own, size-wise. If it was me, I might start by getting in my other car, adjusting the seat and wheel to my liking, and then measuring from the seat back to the steering wheel rim, and seat back to the brake pedal. I’d keep those measurements in mind when reassembling…[Read more]

Glad you had a safe trip. Not jealous at all, nope. Nor-easters build character. 

Thanks, James. I knew I’d seen a better luggage rack already; it was yours. And thanks, Paul, for coding the post. I should really up my game on that stuff, I know.As you-all could probably guess, I’m not the type to leave well enough alone. These little tidbits are the result of my trolling for ideas for my BCW, which my fiance has consented to…[Read more]
